Accessibility Statement

Be Inspired By Islam is committed to ensuring that our website, courses, digital products, and programmes are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance. We believe that Islamic knowledge and education should be available to all — this is not just a compliance goal, it is an Islamic duty.

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it." (Sahih al-Bukhari). It is this very spirit that drives our commitment to accessibility — we want to remove every barrier that stands between a person and beneficial Islamic knowledge.

Standards & Compliance

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Accessibility Features

Our website and learning platform incorporate the following accessibility features:

Visual Design

• Clear colour contrast: all text meets or exceeds WCAG contrast ratio requirements
• Responsive design: the site works across all device sizes and screen resolutions
• Scalable text: you can resize text up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
• Readable fonts: we use clean, legible typefaces with adequate spacing

Navigation

• Keyboard navigation: all functionality is operable through a keyboard interface
• Focus indicators: visible focus outlines on all interactive elements for keyboard users
• Logical heading structure: content is organised with a clear, hierarchical heading structure for screen readers
• Skip to content: a skip navigation link is provided at the top of every page

Content

• Alt text: all meaningful images include descriptive alternative text
• Descriptive links: link text clearly describes the destination or action
• Screen reader friendly: semantic HTML is used throughout for proper screen reader interpretation
• Plain language: content is written in clear, straightforward language wherever possible

Multimedia

• Captions: our video courses include captions or subtitles where feasible
• Transcripts: audio content is accompanied by written transcripts where possible
• Playback controls: all media players include standard controls (play, pause, volume, fullscreen)

Assistive Technology

Our platform is designed to work with common assistive technologies including:

• Screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software
• Alternative input devices

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing journey, not a destination. We are committed to:

• Regularly auditing our website and courses for accessibility issues
• Training our content creators on accessible content practices
• Fixing reported issues promptly and transparently
• Staying current with evolving accessibility standards

Known Limitations

We are actively working to improve accessibility across our platform. Current known areas for improvement include:

• Some older course videos may lack captions — we are adding them progressively
• Certain third-party tools embedded in our platform may have their own accessibility limitations
• Interactive quiz elements may have varying levels of screen reader compatibility

If you encounter any barriers, please let us know so we can prioritise fixes.

Third-Party Content

Some content on our website may be provided by third parties (e.g., embedded YouTube videos, payment processors). While we encourage our partners to maintain high accessibility standards, we may not have full control over the accessibility of third-party content. We review third-party tools for accessibility before integration.
